   Just turning chaos into order takes thermodynamic work, but I was wildly off with my percentages. Thinking in terms of an idealized computer that doesn't create heat, but didn't realize how far we were from that.

   I don't recall what basilisks are, only that I burned it from memory for probably a good reason.

   Produce electricity? I assume electricity was used to do the computation in the first place, turning into let's say 80% work and 20% heat. The idea was to use that 20% to heat our homes. The original electricity still needs to come fro

   Many of these are so ugly. They should be closer to the ground to look more natural, like a modern velomobile[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velomobile#/media/File:Waw020....

   >The source of truth is the paper. This is why the paper was published. Speaking as someone who's not the best at math, I find it easier to understand what a paper is saying after I run the code and see all the intermediate result

    >Regarding physics for example, give me the last theory that went against the establishment and took a generation to be accepted. Everett branches ("many worlds")?

    You like the idea, that's fine, but if I were to make a bet on PredictionBook... .0001%. Fragments don't just lift out of a fully formed planet without a collision with another massive body. I assume the Martian fragments you ment

    This is the old Signal-Matrix debate. https://matrix.org/blog/2020/01/02/on-privacy-versus-freedom In short, federation makes a lot of things more difficult, and Signal opted not to do that to get a poli
